Endgame Viable

I’m pretty baffled about the outrage over the NY Times “revealing” the government’s SWIFT-monitoring program. And as if the SWIFT thing weren’t enough, Michelle Malkin and the puppet minions of the “wingnutosphere” were even further enraged when the NY Times published photos and locations of Donald Rumsfeld and other’s vacation spots. It turns out the NYT did so with Rumsfeld’s permission, but Malkin et al were not deterred in staging a full-scale assault: They’re protesting at the NYT building and publishing the home phone numbers and addresses of NYT editors in retaliation. I even read something about them publishing the numbers and addresses of the NYT editors’s children. Sheesh. I guess they’re taking a page from al Qaeda’s playbook. They’re starting to sound more like a lynch mob than a wingnutosphere, if you ask me. Hmmm… Lynchmobosphere. It has a nice ring to it, and it basically fits their survivalist, isolationist, xenophobic politics. I suspect Malkin et al would probably enjoy a return to the mob rule of the Old West. (As long as there was some money to be made, that is.)
